Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to keep the farm – and the family | EP 112
Q: What does fair actually mean when it comes to succession?
Robinson says fairness is different for every family and does not always mean an equal split. Families need to discuss what each person wants and find an agreed path that can also support the farm business.
How to keep the farm – and the family | EP 112
Q: Can you tell us what a family charter is and how it works?
Robinson describes it as a step before succession planning that helps a family discuss its values, purpose and goals, starting with the family's relationships before turning to business strategy and practical plans.
Richard Harman: New players, new power, new politics | EP 111
Q: If Opportunity does make it into Parliament, do you think they're the kingmakers? And I'm interested to know what kind of arrangement you think they would want.
Harman thinks the Opportunity Party would most likely seek confidence and supply rather than a formal coalition. As a new party with few experienced MPs, it would face significant challenges entering Cabinet.
Richard Harman: New players, new power, new politics | EP 111
Q: Are we in a position, are we at a point of generational change, or is this just a wobble in the political system?
Harman believes New Zealand is approaching generational change, alongside a broader international trend away from established parties. He links voter frustration to stagnant incomes, high costs and a sense that people who followed the rules are not getting ahead.
My dad – a good keen man | EP 109
Q: What advice would you give to young farmers these days?
Alan recommends keeping expectations low and waiting before buying things, since many purchases prove unnecessary. He says farmers need good tools but should avoid wasting money on flash cars and focus on the farm and stock.
